Hajj days start this Tuesday

Most likely, Eid Al-Adha is going to fall on November 27, 2009.  That means the best 10 days of the year are from November 17-26.  If you are reading this now, most likely you are not going for Hajj this year but you still can get blessings by:

• Fasting
• Saying subhan Allah wal Alhamdulillah, wa La illah illah Allah wa Allahu akbar
• Doing extra voluntary deeds of prayer, charity, sacrifice an animal etc.
• Repentance
• Dhikr

In the coming days, I plan to write some more about Hajj, but for now, this is a nice video to get in the mood for 10 best days:

Subhan Allah – glory be to God

Alhamdu liillah – all praise (and thanks) be to God

La illah illah Allah – there is no object worthy of worship except God
